the device to which i am writing a driver doesn't have a pre-assigned MAC
address. only after the system boots up, a user level program will assign
it a MAC address.

I want to know if it is correct to attach a network  interface without MAC
address.

And if it is o.k., when i get the MAC address from user program, besides
updating the MAC address field in the arpcom structure do i need to call
any of arp or other routing functions?

regards,
mohan
